Resumo: Discussions about the Anthropocene produced by Earth System Science (ESS) and stratigraphy have resulted in texts that make use of data and models, but that also produce historical narratives through which an attempt is made to offer a new unified meaning for humanity. In this article I take these statements as “propositions” which have the potential to transform historiographical practice. The objective is to offer a more detailed picture of the contributions of these “anthropocenologists” in order to enable a better assessment of the possibilities of reception of these propositions by the historians’community. Therefore, this article aims to review some recent criticisms of the narratives produced by these scientists. As a conclusion, I demonstrate that the literature produced by the ESS cannot be easily reduced to the idea of a “metanarrative”, due to the plurality of positions it encompasses, as well as I point to the need for a pluralization of the historiographical onto-epistemic perspectives so that it can contribute to the multiple ways of inhabiting and giving meaning to the experience in the post-Holocene.

Neste artigo tomo esses enunciados como “proposições” com o potencial de transformar a prática historiográfica. O objetivo é oferecer um quadro mais detalhado das contribuições desses e dessas  “antropocenologistas” a fim de possibilitar uma melhor avaliação das possibilidades de acolhimento dessas proposições pela comunidade de historiadores e historiadoras. Para tanto, este artigo tem o objetivo de revisar algumas críticas recentes às narrativas produzidas por esses e essas cientistas. Como conclusão, demonstro que a literatura produzida pela CST não pode ser reduzida facilmente à ideia de uma “metanarrativa”, devido à pluralidade de posições que ela abarca, bem como aponto para a necessidade de uma pluralização das perspectivas ontoepistêmicas da historiografia a fim de que ela possa contribuir com as múltiplas formas de habitar e de conferir sentido para a experiência no pós-Holoceno.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2023-06-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/194110.15848/hh.v16i41.1941História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 16 No. 41 (2023); 1-27História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 16 Núm. 41 (2023); 1-27História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 16 n. 41 (2023); 1-271983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1941/1020Copyright (c) 2023 Walter Francisco Figueiredo Lowandehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFigueiredo Lowande, Walter Francisco2023-06-28T05:38:50Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1941Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2023-06-28T05:38:50História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
